Johnny Dung was born in Nha Trang, Vietnam, on July 14 in the family of six brothers and sisters. He is the youngest. He came to United States when he was little, got adopted by an American family, grew up in Alexandria, Virginia where he found his innermost passion: singing. Johnny
Dung started his singing in his hometown in 1992. He moved to the beautiful of Southern California in 1994 to follow his dream. He taught mathematics in high schools to make a living. Life was not easy for him. The Vietnamese Hollywood has been always corrupted and cruel to the newcomers. Luckily, he was abled to find a night club to sing locally to get started. Y Productions (belongs to the singers Y Nhi and Kenny Thai) signed him in for couple years. After finishing the contract, he went on his own. Asia Productions invited him to appear as a guess off and on for about 5 years. Being with Asia Productions for so long and contributing all his work and effort, the company just only used him singing background vocals and group appearance, let him only standing in the dim lights, wasting his youth and talents with no compassion. Feeling so sad and dissappointed, he left and tried to search for someone who could help him to reach to the audience. Quang Nhat, a very smart and kind producer of a small productions called NhacTre Music, saw something incredible, right away he signed Johnny Dung a 2 years contract. Unfortunately since the company has no music video to expose, the new producer could not push Johnny Dung as much but they did make 4 solo albums and confirmed to the listeners that Johnny Dung has an awesome sweet voice with an incredible range of vocal. In 1997, Tinh Music Productions got him to work on a duet CD "Xin Mua Ngung Roi". Unexpectedly, the CD went Platinum got him became popular. The producer signed him 3 years and had him to film many music videos one after another. He got to do his solos and duets with Ha Vy and Minh Tuyet. They all became well known in Vietnamese Community. Finishing his contract and eventhough the producer asked him to stay, he felt that the time had come. This time, he wanted to do something on his own, not leaning on anybody anymore. JDME (Johnny Dung Music Entertainment) was born in 2002. People seemed not to believe that he could survive on his own. He determined and started with his first MTV music videos "NHOM BAN TRE in Hawaii". He also released his first duet CD "Lien Khuc Yeu" with Minh Tuyet. The CD went Platinum made him a solid stand in his carreer. He also released 3 solo albums, 5 other mixed CDs and they all also were very successful. Asia Productions asked him to come back to work with them. He tried and appeared in a few music videos with Asia but things were still not right. Eventhough Asia is a big company and a good place to be recognized, he did not care because he wanted to do music with artistic feelings not commercially. Until now, JDME already released 4 MTV music videos. His fifth MTV music videos is about to release in September - October 2007 with full potential. Johnny Dung's music videos don't have too many famous singers but the videos are full of good songs, new good singers, cultures and adventures. The audience could able to watch and learn so much about the world around them besides listening to good music, exposing to the new singers and feeling young at heart.
